Richard Shelton is Sinatra -'Raw'
Following a sold out critically acclaimed West End season,An Offie Award nomination as Best Male Performance, Richard Shelton’s solo powerhouse Sinatra: RAW returns to Edinburgh for 2 shows only.
You are invited to Palm Springs, California, 1971. Frank Sinatra faces retirement. The air is electric and the crowd jockey for position at Sinatra’s last intimate show. But times are changing as the Rolling Stones and David Bowie dominate the charts. Sinatra’s blue eyes are bloodshot and his face craggy with booze, cigarettes and memories. Things take an unexpected turn when he drinks “One for My Baby” too many. This is the 2am Sinatra you dream of meeting. Dangerous. Unpredictable. Brilliant.
Richard Shelton, who wrote and performs in Sinatra: RAW, is one of the world’s most acclaimed Sinatra interpreters. Cast as Sinatra in the hard-hitting drama, Rat Pack Confidential in the West End, his gritty portrayal won Richard a ‘Best Actor in a Leading Role’ nomination from the Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards and international acclaim. Richard has since performed for British and European royalty, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, for Sir Elton John and on TV and in movies including I Capture the
Castle.
